"IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

A few days ago the plans were perfected
for Great Editorial Boat Race, to take place
Saturday, July 2, at p. m, on the Illinois
river, from most anywhere to the graveyard
and return. The contest was to have been
carried on by the local editors of four Of the
Ottawa papers, as follows:

other gentlemen of the crew will feel it their

We had it all decided-this little rowing

ICE CREAM.

AVE- ShEh"s
An Ottawa south side travelling man is
now paying for ice cream quite numeronsly.
He went out in the country with few Of
his friends some time ago, and bet his shek
els on the weight of live stock. His friends
took him to see yearling FLY that was one
of the handsomest little horses in La Sale
county. Our south side friend is not what
might be termed a slender man-that is to
say, he is not Of the Tom Thumb build. No
He weighs little ov er two hundred pounds
without his coat on, and before dinner
Well, his friends took him out in the coun-
try to show him how beautiful is the rural
atmosphere in the summer time. The mer
curry was at about LOG in the refrigerator
when the party got out Of the carriage and
meandered down the field Our light
weight friend perspired little, but his
friends hurried him along, saying that it
was not nearly as warm as it had been. The
southsider was then prevailed upon to guess
upon the weight of the yearling colt. He
Became very positive that he didn't weigh
over 800 pounds, and offered to bet the ice
cream for the crowd that he was correct
The gentleman lost. He also bet in like
manner upon the weight Of some pigs, and
with like disastrous result. AS each bet was

has been going to Hess ice cream parlors
for the last few days, and eating ice cream
and having it charged to our friend, the
south side light weight travelling man.

MR.. BOOTH ON THE WAR.

We do not believe that Mr.. Booth
intended to decry the Union officers in
the war Of the rebellion, but in the COM
pass Of single lecture and that ex-
plicitly one on the experiences of a
private-it was probably pure mad
vertence thatcaused his general refer
ence to officers to produce the i'm
preston that il has done on the mind
of one of the lecturers fellow-soldiers
in that struggle, the correspondent
whose letter appears in this issue. Mr.
Booths special references to his own
brother, to several deeds Of valor by
other officers and to the noble charac-
teristics Ct Grant, show that he did not
involve all the officers in the blame be-
slowed on a few. His remarks at the
outset we're such a combination of sa-
tire and pleasantly, indeed, that it
would have been difficult to draw the
line where one ended and the other be-
gan. Doubtless the journalistic frater-
nifty felt more or less keenly the ia
Tented lecturers 'hing" at their voca-
tion, but none could have believed that
he meant it in its full force. Orators
have a license rs well as poets, and,
owing to the rapidity with which they
have to make their impressions, must
sometimes clothe their facts and senti-
ments In more highly colored language
than might be appropriate to utterances
in cold print. For this reason, journal
lists will forgive Mr.. Booth commend
ing them 10 the forefront Of the first
battle waged for principles that they
have agitated up TO the point of arbi-
trament by the sword. Still justice to
the members Of the press requires that
the delicate though keen thrust at their
honored predecessors "before the war"
should be followed by vindication Of
those worthless, for such many Of them
were. 1t might be asked, in the first
place, whether principles worth fighting
about we're not worth writing about
Or perhaps, the question of which the
correct answer would more clearly
define the truth is whether the editors
in those days made the times or the
times made the editors. AS a matter
Of fact, in the second place, it was the
editors whe were among the first to ap-
prehend the ultimate purport Of the
''irepressible conflict" and apprehend-
ing il to assume the full and bitter res
possibility for the course they adopted
They did not wait to be 'put" at the
front of battle, but long before the in
cidents Of Harper's Ferry and Fort
Sumter, exposed themselves to priya-
ton, physical peril and even martyr
dom, in behalf of the cause of human
freedom. Loyejoy, editor Of the
Alton Obse,ver, fell martyr to his
anti-slavery principles as far back as
1887, or nearly quarter Of century
before loyal Americans we're summoned
to arms in defense of the integrity Of
the Union against the conspiracy Of
slayery's champions. These remarks
are dictated only in kindliness, as a
supplement to, rather than criticism
of the able and intensely entertaining
